I've put about 700 miles on my Renegade Expat since last May. It really is an excellent all-rounder. Handles a load nicely, fits up to 41mm tires and with 32's on commuting gear on it still manages to feel spirited. I've had plenty of nice days and haven't ridden my Specialized Roubaix once this year. The Jamis is just comfy and I figure the extra weight just helps me train better.
p.s. it fits the stock 35mm Clement Xplor MSO with fenders and room to spare!
